BA (Hons) Leadership and Management Skills

The BA (Hons) Leadership and Management Skills for the Workplace has been developed in response to student demand for an appropriate progression route following successful completion of the Certificate of Higher Education Skills for the Workplace programme.

This course is only available to our progressing students who have completed CertHE Business Skills for the Workplace.

For all other enquiries, please call us on 02039623456 or email: admissions@fbaukltd.com

Course Overview

This programme is only available to Home applicants.

Successful completion of studies on the Cert HE Skills for the Workplace will enable learners to progress straight into Level 5 of this degree programme which follows a similar pattern of flexible delivery as the Certificate, being delivered with discrete modules, studied consecutively, with face-to-face tuition at a convenient community location. This programme will facilitate student study into management theory and practice, firmly contextualized within workplace experience.

This programme complements the portfolio currently offered through the Faculty of Business and Management and can lead to further progression onto the extensive postgraduate suite of programmes offered both locally and via distance learning.

In terms of subject content, the title “for the workplace” reflects the contextualisation of each module to the personal workplace experiences of the learners. This project based, discursive approach to study ensures that generic theoretical models are consistently explored within a workplace context ensuring continued relevance to the needs of employers and career progression.

This course is available to apply as a weekday or weekend study option.

After successful completion of this programme, students are welcome to continue to study with us onto one of our MBA pathways.
